I doubt it is as easy as you think because not all political ads look like "vote for foo!"
They will evolve to look like governor foo paid company xyz which sells home security products to make an ad about how unsafe the country is...while governor foo runs on a platform all about reducing crime rates...etc
Look at some of the propaganda during the 2016 election era for instance
